I find the 'a' prefix useful to tell me that this variable has the value that was provided to the function. (I'm assuming that the prefix is used with this convention.) There's no additional safety enforced, but I find the single letter helps readability. For example, if I want to know where the value of a variable comes from, and it starts with 'a', then I know immediately that I can skip looking at that particular function in the call chain/graph and I need to look at the calling function(s). That advantage does not exist in a declaration that is not a definition; this is only helpful in the definition. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
